Interpretation

- WH: h-wqʿt "this stone"
- Commentary
- The author seems to have omitted the last two letters of his father's name and then added them above wqʿt. For the interpretation of wqʿt see Al-Jallad & Jaworska (in press). The inscription below WH 1753 is WH 1843. It is not clear why WH separated them.
- Provenance
- WH Cairn 23 and this inscription were rediscovered and photographed by the Badia Epigraphic Survey in 2018 and the co-ordinates given are exact.
